To rent an apartment is a very difficult thing, in special when you have not got enough money, or have a lot of children – or yet a big family (grandma, grandpa, aunts...), or yet bigger: dogs, cats, pets of any kind; certainly, to rent an apartment could be very difficult, principally at enormous metropolis such as New York, Tokyo, Buenos Aires or Berlin, where ‘tout le monde’ wants to live, and where the lack of place for living contrasts with the powerful attraction that those cities exert to the rest of world, that seeks to reach them.
To rent an apartment is a thing of patience. That is: if you want a nice apartment, for your own, suitable to your finance, you better have the time to search for it, to compare prices, facilities, everything needs to be clear as water, before you decide to rent an apartment; because if not, you’ll pay a very high price. Let us say you’ve taken a nice loft, with a cute balcony over Avenida Córdoba, at the centre of Buenos Aires. The very first night, when you go to bed, you notice that annoying noise that comes down the ceiling, directly to your ears. It is the peruvian family (5 persons, 2 crying kiddos, the mother and the father) that lives just over your head and rumbles away your sleep.
So, you slept badly; but still have to go to work. You want your breakfast, go to the kitchen and... Have you seen the movie ‘Joe’s Apartment’?, well, the cockroaches will be your friends, sure, because you’ll have to get used to them. To rent an apartment is a delicate thing, and the best you can do is to search reliable services on the Web, with enough time to seek, patience and good eye.
